Playdead has released two games in 17 years, but LIMBO and INSIDE have left some of the biggest footprints on the landscape of indie gaming.

Whether directly inspired by it or not, LIMBO opened the floodgates. Playdead wanted to explore videogames as an art form, and its success gave studios the confidence they needed to make the games they wanted.

In many ways, LIMBO walked so Little Nightmares could run (with a dedicated run button, too).
